Possibly from the French name Minié (for a soft lead bullet) or the German Minenwerfer, a type of trench mortar (WW I allusions), or simply because of the alliteration of the name with the participial adjective; see Martin, Gary (November 2022), “Moaning Minnie”, in Phrases.org.UK[1], retrieved 29 November 2022.
